Formulation approaches and strategies for transdermal delivery of insulin: special emphasis on microneedle-based systems

Formulation approaches and strategies for transdermal delivery of insulin: special emphasis on microneedle-based systems

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal.  The prevalence of diabetes is increasing and expected to become a major global health burden. Various pharmaceutical approaches have been used to manage diabetes and reduce the associated risks. Subcutaneous insulin injection remains the primary treatment due to the physicochemical properties of insulin, which limit oral […]

Recent advances in nano-targeting drug delivery systems for rheumatoid arthritis treatment

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal.  Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic inflammatory disease that can lead to articular cartilage destruction and periarticular bone erosion, thus ultimately compromising joint integrity and function. Anti-inflammatory drugs and biological agents are commonly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, but they cannot selectively target inflamed joints, because of […]

Ligands for oral delivery of peptides across the blood-brain-barrier

Announcing a new review article publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Many peptides and proteins are limited by their poor enzymatic stability and permeability across the intestinal epithelial membranes and/or blood-brain barrier (BBB). Parenteral administration of these peptides is unfavorable because of procedural complications […]
